SALAMANDER SPRINGS.
A few weeks back we finally were able to visit a farm we have been hearing about for years - Salamander Springs Farm in Berea. After hearing about how magical it was and meeting Susana many times, let me just say that it was every bit as wonderful and inspiring as we had imagined. We returned home with our minds filled with plans of solar dehydrators, earthen floors and straw bale sheds, Hugel beds and permaculture systems, seed saving and free-ranging ducks. It is so important for us to take time, even in this busiest of seasons, to visit with other farmers. We never regret the time away, and always come back feeling renewed and reinvigorated. This visit (along with a trip to Hill and Hollow in June) was part of the C.R.A.F.T. program, which you can learn more about here.- Hannah.
